#142"The beefy CPU running this setup, a 32-core AMD EPYC 7532, underlines just how fast technology moves. At the time of its release in 2020, the processor alone would have cost more than $3,000. It can now be had on eBay for less than $200" why do I never get deals like that when I am shopping for the homelab on eBay?

#146I greatly prefer Kagi https://help.kagi.com/kagi/company/ but it's very nice to see more competition in this space in general.

I think there are two factors that helped Google. First, the search engine landscape back then was absolutely abysmal. I'm sure someone will chime in saying that it's abysmal today as well, but the reality is that 99%+ of consumer searches get good results today. And that's simply because the nature of search has changed: we have billions of people using the internet, and they overwhelmingly just search for products…
Google maps is probably a big moat that's very hard to replicate. You can't as easily just crawl all of that data. It's not easy to generate directions. The average user doesn't want to use your search engine for one thing and Google for everything else, they just want a one stop shop for search.
That's not a showstopper. It's ok to not be everything to everyone.

Not for a CPU but earlier this year I bought a Thinkpad workstation off eBay for $500. It's a machine from 2020 and when it was new cost $5,700. I see this for pretty much all hardware out on eBay, just go back 5 years and watch the price fall 10x.
Has eBay fixed their "and then they ship you a box of rocks" problem? I feel like there was a five year span where everyone I talked to said buying or selling electronics on eBay was a nightmare, so I'm a little curious if I need to re-evaluate my priors.
